Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at 30 June 2004: The tables below encompass the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves contained in the South Hill (including oxidised zones) and North Hill areas. Mineral Resources are quoted at 1.8 metres and 2.4 metres (inclusive of pillars). Current practice at Mimosa is to mine at a 1.8 metres stoping width, as reflected in the Ore Reserve statement. Trial mining is currently ongoing at wider widths in order to optimise extraction from the Mineral Resource base.
